Black Friday 2025 is one of the most aggressive sales seasons the PS5 has seen. Core hardware, recent first-party games, and high-end accessories are all discounted at the same time, and the price cuts are broadly consistent across the US, UK, and India.
The sections below stay focused on where the value is highest: console pricing that meaningfully undercuts launch RRP, games from 2024–2025 that rarely drop this low, and accessories that solve real problems like storage and audio rather than padding a bundle.
PS5 console deals (US)
In the US, the baseline discount is simple: standard PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and PS5 Pro all drop by $100 at major retailers and on PlayStation’s own store.
| Model | Key details | List price | Black Friday price | Approx. discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 console (slim, disc) | 1TB SSD, disc drive | $549.99 | $449.99 | $100 off |
| PS5 Digital Edition (slim) | All‑digital, 825GB/1TB SSD | $499.99 | $399.99 | $100 off |
| PS5 Pro | Higher‑end GPU, 2TB SSD at some retailers | $749.99 | $649.99 | $100 off |
Retailers are layering their own promos on top of that baseline. Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, and PlayStation Direct are all running essentially the same console pricing; the choice comes down to stock and any store‑specific perks like credits or financing.
If you want the cheapest entry point and can live without discs, the PS5 Digital Edition at $399.99 is the value play. If you already own a sizable disc library or care about resale, the $449.99 disc model is the safer long‑term choice, even at a slightly higher price.
PS5 console deals (UK)
The UK is more aggressive than the US on raw pricing, especially on the Slim Digital Edition and PS5 Pro.
| Model | Key details | Typical RRP | Notable Black Friday price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Slim Digital Edition | All‑digital, 1TB SSD | ~£429–£430 | ~£280–£290 | EE and Argos push it under £300, sometimes with EA Sports FC 26 included |
| PS5 Slim disc | Disc drive, 1TB SSD | ~£479 | ~£379–£389 | Discounts at Argos, Amazon, Currys |
| PS5 Pro | Higher‑end GPU, 2TB SSD | ~£695–£700 | £575–£609.99 | EE hits ~£575; PlayStation Direct and others sit around £609.99 |
Once you cross the £300 line, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition starts to look like an impulse purchase rather than a major hardware buy. Some bundles pair it with EA Sports FC 26 for the same price as the standalone console, effectively making the game free.
The PS5 Pro discount is smaller in percentage terms, but the £575–£600 range is the first time the more powerful model has felt achievable for a broader group of players rather than just early adopters.
PS5 console deals (India)
In India, Sony is running a unified Black Friday promotion from 21 November to 4 December with fixed price cuts across the official disc and digital models.
| Product (India) | Original price (₹) | Sale price (₹) | Discount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Disc Edition | 54,990 | 49,990 | 5,000 |
| PS5 Digital Edition | 49,990 | 44,990 | 5,000 |
The same pricing runs across Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Zepto, Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Sony Center, and other authorised retailers. Whether you choose disc or digital comes down to how much you care about physical media and used games; the discount is identical.
Standout PS5 bundles
Bundles matter this year because some of the best hardware prices are tied to game packs rather than raw consoles.
| Bundle | What you get | Typical Black Friday price | Why it’s notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost of Yōtei PS5 Slim (US) | Limited‑edition console + matching DualSense + Ghost of Yōtei | $499.99 (down from $599.99) | Cosmetic hardware plus a 2025 exclusive at a lower premium than usual for special editions |
| NBA 2K26 PS5 Slim (US) | Standard white Slim + NBA 2K26 | $449.99 (down from $549.99) | Cheaper than the Ghost bundle, good fit for sports‑heavy setups |
| Fortnite Flowering Chaos (US) | PS5 (disc or digital) + exclusive cosmetics + 1,000 V‑Bucks | $449.99 disc / $399.99 digital | Cosmetics valued well above the price delta if you live in Fortnite |
| PS5 + EA Sports FC 26 (UK) | PS5 Slim disc or digital + EA Sports FC 26 | Often same price as console‑only | Makes sense if you would have bought FC 26 at full price anyway |
| PS5 VR2 + Horizon Call of the Mountain (US/UK) | PS VR2 headset + Sense controllers + Horizon VR | ~$299.99 / £309.99 (down from ~$399.99 / £529.99 RRP) | Transforms PS5 into a VR system for less than many standalone headsets |
If you care about limited hardware designs, the Ghost of Yōtei console is a better use of money than paying full price for a skin or faceplate later. If you don’t, the standard Slim plus a game like EA Sports FC 26 or NBA 2K26 will get you playing for less.
Best PS5 game discounts (US disc and global digital)
On the software side, the theme this year is straightforward: big cuts on 2025 headliners, deep cuts on the back catalogue.
| Game | Platform | Original price | Black Friday price | Approx. discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingdom Come Deliverance II | PS5 disc (US) | $59.99 | $30.00 | 50% off |
| Death Stranding 2: On the Beach | PS5 disc (US) | $69.99 | $49.99 | ~29% off |
| Elden Ring Nightreign | PS5 disc (US) | $39.99 | $24.99 | ~38% off |
| EA Sports FC 26 | PS5 disc (US) | $69.99 | $29.99 | ~57% off |
| Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Limited Edition) | PS5 disc (US) | $69.99 | $34.99 | 50% off |
On PlayStation Store, digital Black Friday pricing lines up with disc discounts and adds more breadth. EA Sports FC 26, Death Stranding 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Battlefield 6, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, Silent Hill f, Dying Light: The Beast, Split Fiction, and Stellar Blade all sit in a rotating sale grid, with hundreds of other titles joining them.
India’s Black Friday sale puts many of the same games into much lower rupee bands:
| Game (India) | Original price (₹) | Sale price (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Death Stranding 2 | 5,199 | 4,199 |
| Astro Bot | 4,199 | 3,199 |
| Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 | 5,199 | 2,599 |
| Rise of the Ronin | 5,199 | 2,599 |
| Gran Turismo 7 | 5,199 | 2,599 |
| God of War Ragnarök | 5,199 | 2,099 |
| The Last of Us Part 1 Remake | 5,199 | 2,599 |
| Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut | 5,199 | 2,599 |
| Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart | 5,199 | 2,599 |
In rupee terms, the sharpest drop is God of War Ragnarök, which loses more than half its sticker price for the duration of the sale.
PS5 accessory discounts worth caring about
Accessories are flooded with small cuts every Black Friday, but a handful this year clearly move the needle on your day‑to‑day experience.
Controllers and input
| Accessory | Region | Original price | Sale price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DualSense wireless controller (standard colours) | India | ₹6,390 | ₹4,390 | White, Black, Red, Grey Camo, Ice Blue |
| DualSense wireless controller (metallic / chrome) | India | ₹6,849 | ₹4,849 | Metallic Blue, Metallic Red, Chrome Teal, Chrome Indigo |
| DualSense Edge wireless controller | India / global | ₹18,990 / $199.99 / £199.99 | ₹15,990 / ~$169 / ~£160 | Modular sticks, back buttons, trigger stops |
| Access controller | India | ₹7,700 | ₹5,700 | Customisable accessibility‑focused kit |
The ordinary DualSense at £40–£50 or ₹4,390 is the sweet spot if you just need more gamepads for co‑op. DualSense Edge is still a premium purchase even with a discount, but if you play a lot of shooters or fighters and care about stick drift mitigation and back paddles, Black Friday is one of the few times it gets noticeably cheaper.
Audio: Pulse headsets and earbuds, plus third‑party picks
| Headset / earbuds | Region | Original price | Sale price | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PULSE Elite wireless headset | India / UK | ₹12,990 / £129.99 | ₹7,990 / £99.99 | Planar drivers and PlayStation Link at a mid‑range price |
| PULSE Explore wireless earbuds | India / UK | ₹18,990 / £199.99 | ₹9,990 / £139.99 | Deep cut on Sony’s in‑ear option with Link support |
| HyperX Cloud Alpha | US | $99.99 | $59.99 | Wired, reliable, and comfortable if you don’t need wireless |
| Sony INZONE H9 | US | $329.99 | ~$198.00 | Premium noise‑cancelling option with a steep temporary drop |
| Razer BlackShark V2 X | US | $49.99 | $34.99 | Budget wired set that still handles positional audio well |
If you own or plan to buy a PlayStation Portal, Pulse Elite or Explore is the cleanest path to low‑latency audio thanks to PlayStation Link support. If you mostly play at a desk or couch and don’t care about proprietary wireless, a discounted third‑party headset like the Cloud Alpha or BlackShark V2 X will still outperform TV speakers and cheap Bluetooth cans by a large margin.
Storage and VR
| Accessory | Region | Original price | Sale price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WD BLACK SN850P 1TB SSD (with heatsink) | US | $169.99 | $139.99 | PS5‑ready NVMe for internal expansion |
| PlayStation VR2 | India | ₹44,999 | ₹34,999 | ~₹10,000 cut, often lower in some UK/US bundles |
If you are constantly deleting games to make space, this is one of the rare times when a PS5‑compatible NVMe drive with heatsink is well below its usual street price. The VR2 discount is big enough that PS5 plus VR2 undercuts many all‑in‑one VR headsets while still giving you access to Sony’s first‑party library.
PlayStation Plus and digital store promotions
PlayStation Plus is getting its own Black Friday treatment: 12‑month plans across Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/Premium tiers are discounted by up to a third for new or lapsed members. That sits on top of the PlayStation Store Black Friday sale, which discounts hundreds of digital games, DLC, and special editions.
- Essential: online multiplayer, monthly games, cloud saves.
- Extra: everything in Essential plus the Game Catalogue.
- Deluxe / Premium (name varies by region): adds Classics Catalogue, game trials, and cloud streaming for select PS5 and PS4 titles.
If you play a broad mix of single‑player and are happy to download from a rotating library, a discounted Extra or Deluxe year tends to be better value than buying more than a handful of full‑price games outright. If you mainly buy a couple of big releases and spend the rest of your time in service games like Fortnite or EA Sports FC 26, Essential at a reduced annual rate is usually enough.
Across regions, the pattern is consistent: console hardware is finally slipping into mainstream price bands, 2025 flagships are landing at or near half‑price, and accessories that normally feel like luxuries are being dragged into “maybe” territory. If you’ve been holding off on a PS5, this is the first Black Friday where the math cleanly favours jumping in rather than waiting for the next refresh.
